- Tiki Ghosn knocked out influencer boxer Deen The Great during a livestreamed party hosted by Rampage Jackson.
- The incident followed a previous altercation where bodybuilder Larry Wheels slapped Deen for inappropriate comments.
- Fans are debating whether Deen's confrontational behavior is genuine or staged for viral attention.
UFC legend Rampage Jackson has become a household name in streaming, with broadcasts gaining major social media attention for funny moments. Influencer boxer Deen The Great has joined several recent streams, but his experiences have been turbulent. He was confronted twice, most recently struck by former UFC welterweight and Jackson’s manager, Tiki Ghosn, during a livestreamed party.
Ghosn is a retired American mixed martial artist who competed professionally from 1998 to 2009, primarily in the welterweight division. After retiring, he remained active in the UFC as a coach, manager, and mentor, guiding both established fighters and newcomers. Ghosn was part of Team Brian Ortega during The Ultimate Fighter 29. He is also closely tied to UFC top brass Dana White and Hunter Campbell.
Recently, Jackson hosted a house-party livestream on his Kick channel, where he frequently interacts with streamers and influencers. Deen The Great, whose real name is Nurideen Shahid Shabazz, was among the guests. During the event, he was seen calling out Ghosn, who was present as Jackson’s manager. The confrontation escalated when Ghosn struck Deen, sending him crashing to the ground.

Ghosn was at the center of multiple controversies throughout his post-fighting career. One of the most notable occurred when former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland publicly accused Ghosn of being a child predator. Strickland also alleged that Ghosn took se*ual favors from fighters he managed or coached. These accusations added to the scrutiny surrounding Ghosn’s presence in MMA circles.
Deen has multiple victories in exhibition boxing bouts but only one professional win. His lone pro victory came in 2022 when he defeated Walid Muhsein at the MF & DAZN X Series 3 event. In addition to his matches, Deen was involved in a rivalry with WBA and WBC champion Shakur Stevenson, expressing interest in sparring the fighter. These bouts and challenges have kept him active in the squared circle.
This incident occurred just a day after professional bodybuilder and influencer Larry Wheels slapped Deen The Great during a livestream for flirting with Wheels’ wife while he was present. The altercation with Tiki Ghosn further highlighted the risks of unnecessary trash-talking during live events. Consequences can escalate quickly when confrontations involve former fighters or famous personalities.
Fans react to Tiki Ghosn knocking out Deen The Great on livestream
Incidents involving Deen The Great have become increasingly frequent in recent times, drawing major attention across social media. Fans are comparing these events to a recent situation where former UFC heavyweight Andrei Arlovski got into a scuffle on streamer Jack Doherty’s broadcast. During that livestream, Arlovski engaged with Doherty’s entourage, illustrating how quickly conflicts can escalate online.

Other fans have pointed out that Deen The Great’s behavior appeared provocative from the start, with some questioning whether he was deliberately seeking viral clips. Many viewers also speculated that the incidents with Larry Wheels and Tiki Ghosn were staged for attention. Discussions across social media debated whether the reactions were genuine or part of a planned spectacle.

Getting KO'd by a former UFC fighter is a brutal way to learn about boundaries. DeenTheGreat is finding out that real-life interactions have much higher stakes than a keyboard war.

Nothing is more satisfying than watching discipline beat the hype. Deen found out that social media points don't count when you're standing across from a real fighter. It was a beautiful reality check that he clearly needed. Sometimes, you have to hit the floor to finally see the…
